Do You Need Brake Repairs?

When deciding whether or not to schedule brake service, there are some things to consider.

Do you hear any of the following:

• Grinding noises?
• A continuous high pitched squeal when the vehicle is moving?
• A continuous high pitched squeal when stopping?
• A high pitched, repetitive sound like birds chirping when stopping?

These sounds indicate a problem with your brake pads, which can in turn lead to other brake problems. The brake pad lining begins to wear out, causing the metal backing to contract the brake disc, which damages your brakes.

If your brake pedal shakes when you press it, this may be a sign of bad rotors. It is also important to feel if your car pulls to one side when braking. Pulling indicates a bad caliper or uneven brake pad wear, which can happen from uneven distribution of pressure in the brake lines.

If we do find a problem with your brakes, let our mechanical team discuss repair options with you. At our shop, we perform all brake repairs with precision, as timely as possible. A minor repair now can prevent a major repair, or something worse, in the future, so call us today at (412) 322-4044 to schedule an appointment.
